Animoto Produces TV & film-quality music videos using your photos in just minutes. Simply upload your images & choose a song as the soundtrack to your video. Animoto will then analyze every nuance of the song, producing a totally unique video each time. No two videos are ever the same. Videos can then be e-mailed, downloaded, exported to your favorite social networking site, burned to DVD, and placed on your website or blog.
Ideas for PSA's:
Create podcasts (in Audacity) using CTE month facts and information
Create stop motion videos (in Movie Maker) on Youth Workplace Safety from the CDC
My name is Karin Muller and I've been a Nat. Geographic/PBS filmmaker and author for the past 20 years. Four years ago I started a nonprofit that allows me to shoot broadcast-quality global footage and give it to high school and college students here in the USA and throughout the world. The students receive this footage and create their own short docs and PSAs (they are NOT passively watching completed documentaries. They are actively editing and producing their own, original films). In the process they learn to understand and ultimately to empathize with people living under dramatically different circumstances. When they’re done, they often submit their docs to festivals, put them on the web, or take them on the road to educate the public and practice their leadership and global citizenship skills. Thus far I have released footage on Sudan/Darfur/Chad and Cuba. Later on in the spring I will make Japan footage available as well. The high school versions are divided into issue-specific modules (women in North Africa, the Cuban black market, humanitarian aid in the refugee camps, etc.). Each module has over five hours of National-Geographic-quality footage that comes with a comprehensive curriculum and teaching tools that meet national curricular standards for social studies, economics, government, science, media, or literature. Teachers/parents do not need to have any video or editing skills – teaching tools are available in the supporting materials. Each module is comprehensive enough to cover a full-semester course, but can be scaled down to a 2-week after-school project. A one-year educational license is $75 per module – which is enough for an entire class of students. Our website, www.take2videos.org, has an enormous amount of information. And, since I am often on the road and can’t always log onto these forums, my personal email address is Karin@karinmuller.com I am not an educator. I would very much like to get word of this resource out to as many teachers as possible and am only beginning to learn how to do that. If you would be willing to forward this information to any forums you think appropriate or to high school and tertiary teachers who might be interested, I would be very grateful. And, of course, you are most welcome to join us as part of the program! Thank you so much, Karin Muller Director Take 2: The Student’s Point of View
